Lovely as a Tree christmas ..
Three cards today, all made with stampin up cardstock, and stampin stamp set called Lovely as a Tree.These cards were experiments, to see how I could use normal stamp sets for christmas makes. The top card used some kaisercraft patterned paper from the Yuletide collection, and I stamped the tree, dotted it with glue and added some Flower soft to it, for a bit of texture.For the second card I inked through a negative piece of cardstock which I had die cut an oval, then with the negative piece of cardstock still in place I stamped the row of trees,removed the mask and then stamped the single tree.The third card was embossed along the bottom, ribbon wrapped around it,and tree stamped and dotted with some kindyglitz.I am off the the craft room now to make a start on my december lessons. I have some great paper for teen boys cards and some beach themed cards and lots of ideas running around my head, so let the creating begin! til tomorrow….

Stampin Up festival of trees stamp set
Every year I try to limit myself to one christmas stamp set, and one christmas die set,mainly because there is such a small window of opportunity to use them, and over the years the christmas stash mounts up and I do use previous years buys in new and different ways as I learn more techniques. This years stamp set buy was this one from Stampin Up. Called festival of trees, in the set is a variety of tree designs, as well as the bird shown here and a few other co-ordinating stamps. I also bought the punch that co-ordinates with this set , its a tree punch which has lots of possibilities besides punching out the stamped trees.the two cards I have shown here are the first two I did with this set, for a lesson over at the retirement village.The papers I used were in a paper pad that I purchased last year from Stampin Up.today has been the most enjoyable day in the craft room. I laid out my Time to Celebrate papers from graphic 45 and have created so many cards! All different too – little girl type cards, cards for older girls(!), wedding/bridal shower cards, baby cards, and I am heading back in there now to do some anniversary cards before packing up and doing a few more christmas cards! til tomorrow….

One sheet was entirely tags so I made good use of them and that stretched the paper to make quite a lot of cards. I have added assorted ribbon, lace and charms to finish.Today is going to be a lazy day catching up on some lost sleep. til tomorow…..
